I disagree with his percentage of empty seats. I was there. Probably 60/40 at best. After this Miss St was was on our goal line with the opportunity to score and go for the onside kick with us up by six. The game was NOT in hand until Lostin's interception. By that time the stadium was half empty or more. I'm no superfan but I believe what I believe. Those of you who want to act indignant or make excuses or sling insults know what you are!
The picture is right there. MSU was at the goal line with 2 minutes left when Loston intercepted. Yes, the stadium was 20% full at that point. But the picture I posted of the 6 minute mark clearly shows that it is 70-75% full. Only the upper decks have started to clear out in earnest. The place was a ghost town at the 4 minute mark. I will grant you that.

Pretty pathetic considering a top 25 SEC West rival was driving to possibly bring the game within 6 points. Don't act like EVERY stadium in the country would have been that empty that early.

I stayed until the interception. There was maybe 25% of the stadium there at that point. I had someone with me that had been to one other game in the past 10 years. They were shocked at the amount of people leaving.
So we have established that there are 2 problems here. 1) the type of fans that have purchased season tickets has changed. Some of these fans get tickets through their companies or their own means. Either way this problem is not preventable.
2)the traffic cluster after games has caused people to leave early. There is a beat the traffic crowd that seems to get bigger with each pitiful job the hired police do. This is correctable. They need a contra flow. If you park on one side of the stadium then you go that direction and opposite on the other. I believe you could get 75% of the beat the crowd people to stay longer then.

That's just it. But I respect Geauxtro for admitting the truth about what these superfans are saying:
